General Description

The DeCAP shall decentralize the annotation process of civil registry documents which have undergone administrative corrections (RA 9048, RA 10172, and supplemental report).

Project Background

Annotations are remarks or statements reflected on the birth, marriage, or death document to indicate that some entries in the original document have been corrected or changed as a result of a court decree or administrative decisions (Legal Instruments, RA 9048, RA 10172, and supplemental reports). As of 2018, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has processed 766,674 annotated documents. Clients will also have to go to the PSA Central Office in Quezon City or Pasay just to ensure timely processing, which could be a problem for those based in far-flung areas. In some cases, it usually takes 2-6 months to finally release the annotated copy. 

Moreover, the PSA also faces the following challenges: inadequate manpower, IT system and developer issues as well as the authenticity of client documents. Through the analysis of the challenges of the PSA in the processing of the annotated copy of client documents, the Innovation Team generated several ideas and insights to address the challenge:  How might we improve the process of copy issuance of annotated CRDs because we want to provide a hassle-free, fast, convenient and quality service to our clientele and stakeholders.

The team combined ideas and further processed the insights, until they came up with the DeCAP: Decentralized Copy Annotation Project.

Potential Impact:

  1. Decentralize the processing of RA 10172, RA 9048 and Supplemental Reports (correction of up to 2 entries) 
  2. Lessen the burden of clients and provide a cost-efficient alternative
  3. Eliminate fixing due to longer processing time of annotation requests
  4. Reduce time processing of monthly report from two to six months to within 15 working days
  5. Improve accessibility of clients and stakeholders with the service
  6. Improved relations with the stakeholders (City/Municipal Civil Registry) 
  7. Minimize 8888 complaints
